Reagan Knocked Down That Wall

believe in freedom anyway. At Wall. We communists, We don't celebrate our failures. Let Gorbachev handle it. Besides, I don't want to go over there and then be upstaged by Ronald Reagan. But I have not found any reporting yet. I'm not saying she didn't do it, but I have not found any reporting yet that says Merkel mentions Reagan.

Now she did back on November four in the speech, she said, Ronald Reagan, far earlier than others saw and recognize the sign of the times, when stand in the Brandenburg Gate in eight seventies and Mr Gorbachoff opened this gate, tear down this wall. Uh, this appeal is something that will never be forgotten. Uh, mercles this appeal. So Gorba chops over there, and gorbachofs by the way, he's out

there making news. Uh, he's now comparing the climate change effort here Middleton and mind Medalism is now replaced the Cold War. Uh, it's it's that's and and nations have to come together, Uh to solve that problem. How do you? How do you have a twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall? And not mentioned Ranalda's magnus here

listened to son of the story. Chancellor Angela Merkel and former Soviet leader Miko Gorbert Choff crossed the former fortified border on Monday, two cheers of Gorby Gorby as a throng of grateful Germans recalled the night twenty years ago the Berlin Wall gave way to their desire for freedom and unity. What gorbach Off over there and helped blow it up? Wasn't Gorbachoff the guy desperately trying to keep

that wall up? Within moments so they confused announcement on November that East Germany was lifting travel restrictions, hundreds of people streamed into the enclave that was West Berlin. Marketing did they cheer Gorby Gorby Gorby then. No, they didn't cheer Gorby Gorby Gorby then, and you know why, because they hadn't yet done the revisionist history to say all it was all gorbage. Also, about twenty years has passed

and Gorbachoff gets all the credit. She lauded garbage Off, with whom she shared an umbrella amid a crush of hundreds eager for a glimpse of the man many can still consider a hero for his role in pushing reform in the Silva Union. At last time I looked, there was a story last week and some people say, you know what, this freedom thing in Russia is not working. It hasn't worked out. We got to go back to what So apparently whatever Gorbaschoff led Russia too is not working.

And he's still fet it here as a as a big hero for his role uh in pushing reform in the Soviet his role for crying out loud folks. Uh, We all on this program and this audience know the truth. Lady Thatcher has has said the truth. And it's quite simple. The Soviets were defeated because they could not keep up. They were a bankrupt third world nation with a first world military, pure and simple. Get this headline here in the New York Times. The legacy of nineteen eighty nine

still up for debate, meaning the Berlin Wall coming down. Uh, the historical legacy nine when the Berlin Wall fell in a Cold War thought, is as political as the upheavals of that decisive year. Um more details on that as the As the program unfolds, well, well, well, President Obama is addressing the assembled multitudes in Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate. He's on a giant screens over there. I don't know if it's taped or if he's live. Whatever it was, he had the god echo in there. He had the

godlike echo in there. Here comes Merkle. She's approaching the ponym of Hillary. Just finished it. Pouring rain over there. So they have these uh, poor people holding umbrellas for these dignitaries who are out there speaking. Obama said, the work of freedom is never over. He left out a word, the work of ending freedom is never over at anyway.

Welcome back Rush Limbaugh here the E I B Network and the Limbo Institute War Advanced Conservative Studies Today does mark the twentieth anniversary of the Berlin Wall starting to come down. It was midnight twenty years ago that East Germans were allowed to travel past the wall from East Berlin to West Berlin and exercise their freedoms. When Ronald Reagan demanded of Gorbatrop, Mr Reagan teared down. Mr gorbat tear down this wall. It came true two years later

on this date. President Reagan, all but forgotten, it seems in media coverage of this event, was not alone in his belief in the importance and power of freedom. The Heritage Foundation was right there all along, reinforcing the policy of military superiority and ideological confrontation with the communist Soviet Evil Empire. The Heritage Foundation played a huge role in that intellectual conversation, still does so. The Heritage Foundation was

intimately involved in several Reagan administration policies. It's when they really came of age, and that's when I first heard about them. And that's one of the many reasons why I am a member of the Heritage Foundation. Is the reason that you should and and need to be a member yourself, because become a member today and in the twentieth anniversary of this historic day truly meaningful, just go online to ask heritage dot org. Ask heritage dot org

is where you'll find tons of information. Over a half a million like minded conservatives are members there. They are the keepers of the conservative flame inside the Beltway. They are relentless. Ask heritage dot org. Mike stand by there an audio sun by thirteen and are talking about the anniversary of the falling of the Berlin Wall, and they are leaving Ronald this magnus out of this uh praising garbage off over there. Let's go back June twelve in

West Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate. The advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe, if you

seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr Garbaschof, open this gate, Mr Garbutchev, tear down this wall, and the wall came down, and Gorbchof gets the credit for nikayle Segeevitch Gorbachev, that's the credit. And Hillary Clinton was our official representative over there. And then Obama. I don't know if he was on tape or live, but he was on the screens with the odd like reverb. What he said, Hey, here's Obama here, the godlike echo audio saw by number

thirty eight. You gotta hear this. This is Obama's his address to the Berlin Walls celebration. And I don't know again if it's live or if it was on tape, but they played it on the big screens over there. It's not people and the people here on this anniversary. I'm sorry. I stay there today, friends, respect to the ex always remembered and cherished sceps tape. Here Just a second, Mike, did you add any reverb to this? Did you take journalistic license to annemy reverb? Well, so, what they must

have done. They must have taken the audio feed from the speakers at the ceremony rather than a direct line audio feed or else. Obama recorded it that way. But you know he has a tendency to do that, of of putting his voice in in rever about there. I just wanted to do to hear that. Okay, I gotta hear this one more. Obama in his echo fied address at the Brandenburg Gate. Today, he mentions John Kennedy, he mentions himself. He does not mention Reynolds Magnus, the man

who made this happen. Even as we celebrate these values, even as we marked this day, we know the work of freedom is never finished. In a Berlin under siege, President Kennedy said, freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free. Few would have foreseen on that day that a United Germany would be led by a woman from Brandenburg, or that their American ally would be led by a man of African descent. But human destiny is what human beings make of it. You

had nothing to do with it. The fall of the Berlin Wall had nothing to do with somebody from Africa being elected president of the United States or some woman from Brandenburg becoming the Chancellor of Germany. It was not about that I want to take all these events. Here's oh, look at what happens when we all work together. We didn't all work together. The Soviets resisted it. Eric Haneger resisted it. The whole Soviet Empire resisted it. They had

no choice. In the end, there was only one guy who American liberals said, it was silly to suggest we could ever defeat the Soviets. We had to stay friendly with him. One man and one woman, Margaret Thatcher. How in hell you don't mention her either. But that's Obama. Everything is about him.
